Product description

The music for Side 1 was recorded at outdoor rehearsals of the massed tattoo bands. To ensure consistent musical quality the bands remained in a static position while playing all pieces. The applause and crowd noises were recorded at an actual performance and mixed in to add realism. Side 2 is a recording of the second performance on Sunday 1st july 1979 and has been edited to reduce the noise of low flying aircraft but mainly to add cheering and gun fire, thus enhancing the dramatic effect.

Vinyl has been checked and appears to be in very good condition on both sides. The cover sleeve is in excellent order with only a minor crease along the spine. The inner side of the gatefold is near immaculate with only a minor scuff on the upper right corner worth mentioning.

Records have been checked visually to RRPG grades (record/sleeve).We recommend the vinyl is cleaned by a professional to maximise the sound quality.

Oxfam Bookshop Lymington

Lymington is on the South coast, bordering on the New Forest National Park which was created as a Royal Forest in 1079 by William the Conqueror, and first recorded as 'Nova Foresta' in the Doomsday Book in 1086. Our Oxfam Shop at 73, The High Street is in a lovely Georgian building, the tallest in Lymington. The elegant Georgian buildings lining the wide main street were built mostly for merchants in the local salt trade. The famous Saturday market brings the town to life with its variety of stalls. The area is renowned for outdoor pursuits, including camping, sailing,
windsurfing, and surfing, as well as forest walks and horse riding.
